Jarhead movie - Soldier's Things lyrics

rate me

Song by Tom Waits<br /><br>

Davenports and kettle drums<br>

And swallow tail coats<br>

Table cloths and patent leather shoes<br>

Bathing suits and bowling balls<br>

And clarinets and rings<br>

And all this radio really<br>

Needs is a fuse<br>

A tinker, a tailor<br>

A soldier's things<br>

His rifle, his boots full of rocks<br>

And this one is for bravery<br>

And this one is for me<br>

And everything's a dollar<br>

In this box<br>

<br>

Cuff links and hub caps<br>

Trophies and paperbacks<br>

It's good transportation<br>

But the brakes aren't so hot<br>

Neck tie and boxing gloves<br>

This jackknife is rusted<br>

You can pound that dent out<br>

On the hood<br>

A tinker, a tailor<br>

A soldier's things<br>

His rifle, his boots full of rocks<br>

Oh and this one is for bravery<br>

And this one is for me<br>

And everything's a dollar<br>

In this box<br>

<br>
